[ May 28, 2010; ] [caption id="attachment_203" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="This way everybody"][/caption]

As you can probably guess, we’re a bit geeked-up in the DFWdaddy household about the new exhibit opening at the Dallas Zoo. Giants of the Savanna is likely to supplant the Lacerte Family Children’s Zoo as our favorite stop each time we visit. TheKiddo™ loves elephants, giraffes, lions and [...]

Saturdays are special days for dads and their kids.

As dads, we hurtle ourselves out of bed every morning to confront whatever the day throws at us. Our jobs, whether it’s one we love or one we hate, all to often take us away from the [...]

I’m not the crafty one in my relationship. And I’m confident that most dads can admit that very same fact. I’m positive all the dads I personally know would tell you their wives are much more craft oriented.

That being said, I’m not opposed to crafts—especially when TheKiddo™ enjoys them. [...]

First Saturday in Dallas = hammers and sculpture

The first Saturday of February is a couple of days away, and I’m sure dads are looking for ideas. A couple of easy suggestions are Kids Workshops at Home Depot and Target First Saturday at The Nasher Sculpture Center. Both [...]

This will be our second time to take TheKiddo™ to the ballet. Last year, when she was only 2, we didn’t quite make [...]

While we were out at the Turkey Trot in Dallas today, we happened to see Plex The Magic Robot as he was pimping the upcoming show. That leaves me with just one thing to say …

It’s time to dance!

Go crazy! Go crazy!

That’s [...]

Latino Cultural Center

[ October 24, 2009; 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. ] The Latino Cultural Center is a beautiful place to explore new ideas and different experiences. It’s a definite jewel in Dallas that most folks probably don’t even know exists.
